Track Of The Day: Worriers – ‘The Possibility’

Having been an accomplished musician for over a decade, Lauren Denitzio has recently relocated to Philadelphia and released the sophomore album from her band Worriers, Survival Pop – a rallying cry and celebration of overcoming “in the face of illness and loss, misogyny, homophobia and the patriarchy…”

Taken from the album is latest single ‘The Possibility’. A jangly, uplifting surf-pop offering, it oozes an empowering, buoyant energy and twinkling, sweeping harmonies. Reflecting on life’s hardships and surviving in the face of adversity, it juxtaposes catchy, sunny melodies with Denitzio’s raw vocals.

Filled with a vibrant punk-pop spirit and driving hooks, ‘The Possibility’ is the perfect enlivening anthem to get you through the dark days of winter –  a truly infectious slice of ‘survival pop’ if ever there was one.

Survival Pop, the latest album from Worriers, is out now.

Track Of The Day: Bamboo Smoke – ‘Sleepless’

A smooth, effortlessly produced electronic lullaby, Bamboo Smoke have shared their latest single ‘Sleepless’. Formed of lyricist & vocalist Lou and instrumentalist & producer Tom, the duo create hazy soundscapes with smoky undertones and soulful vocals.

A chance meeting on a rooftop brought Bamboo Smoke together at a time when Lou had armfuls of notebooks filled with words and melodies and Tom had a library of instrumentals desperate for the right voice. The duo have since spent months writing together in South London, riding trains, scrawling lyrics and bouncing phone recordings back and forth.

The band’s debut EP is a collection of songs written over the course of the last year, during sessions snatched from the temporal demands of life in London in your 20s jobs, blending the playful with the shadows, capturing fragments of dreams.

Listen to ‘Sleepless’ below.

LIVE (Photos): Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds with Dream Nails, 06.12.17

To round off a year of putting on fantastic events promoting women in music, Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds hosted their last event event of 2017 at The Victoria on Wednesday. In true Christmas spirit, it focused on giving back to society, with all net profits from the event going to women’s aid organisation Nia, who specialise in helping victims of rape and domestic violence in North East London.

Kicking off the live music are Babyarms – Jen Doveton from Colour Me Wednesday’s solo project – delivering their luscious, twinkling indie-pop creations.

Next up, in place of DOLLS who sadly had to cancel due to illness (wish you better, DOLLS!), are Berries. Blasting out their impressive racing riffs and rolling beats with a riotous energy, their raw rock-fused power marks them out as definite ones to watch in 2018.

Headlining the night are our favourite feminist punk witches, Dream Nails. With their seething, punk-filled power, they treat us to a range of super empowering offerings, raging against domestic violence, misogyny and bullies with all the sparkling, buoyant energy you could ever desire. With their unique impassioned charm and raucous force, Dream Nails once again prove why they’re a necessity in our lives right now; continuing to inspire and motivate us all to get to the front and make our voices heard.

Track Of The Day: New Haunts – ‘Reactions’

Inspired by post-punk, early industrial music, synthpop, coldwave and everything in between, New Haunts is a musical force to be reckoned with. Her latest track ‘Reactions’ is a balance of these influences, ringing out with a cold but magnetic energy.

“‘Reactions’ is pretty much about the beauty versus the horror of having emotional connections,” New Haunts explains. “I wanted to encompass both the good and the bad by layering softer, dreamier sounds with bleaker, harsher ones. I play around with opposites a lot in my music – it’s not often I find a subject matter which I feel 100% positive or negative about and that’s a big part of what I love to dissect and examine when I write a song.”

This juxtaposition of themes and sounds work harmoniously on ‘Reactions’. The single is available as a free download from New Haunts bandcamp now. Keep your eyes peeled for her debut album in the near future.
